Fiction recommendations.

[mrissa]

I've been going through the fiction on my library list at an alarming rate, because I'm not interspersing it with nonfiction at the moment. Don't know when I'll get my ability to read nonfiction back, but it doesn't seem to go well with the vertigo. So in the meantime: what fiction should I read? Recommend something, or more than one something. If I've already read it, that's okay; I'll tell you, and you can recommend something else, or not, as you like.

I read books aimed at any age of person. The main genre constraint I have is that I tend to bounce hard off genre romance, and horror and traditional westerns are not generally my cup of tea.

In other news, Ista is really not at all thrilled with this entire holiday, and she's alternating between running around wanting to figure out what those noises are and trying to stay hidden and safe behind the living room couch.

I watched the first half of Good Night and Good Luck with today's workout. Seemed appropriate. Happy Independence Day, all those of you who celebrate it today.

I greatly enjoyed Shanna Swendson's _Enchanted, Inc_. The heroine has no magical powers and a refreshing lack of stupidity.

We strongly favor lack of stupid.

I've also been comfort rereading Kerry Greenwood's Phryne Fisher mysteries. They are set in Australia, in 1928.

When I discovered them, only a few of them had been published here and I ordered the lot from Australia, but the American publisher has almost caught up. _Cocaine Blues_ is the first one.

Neat. American publishers catching up is also a great goodness.
